2 claims.- (ci. ca -203) f tate the stain, during the staining operation,

therebymaintaining the stain thoroughly mixed vduring the staining operation.

With the foregoingy and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combinationand arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, with-out departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure l is a plan view of a ktank constructed in accordance with the invention, the stain roll thereof being mounted in the tank.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the emulsion tank.

Figure 4 isa rear elevat'onal view thereof.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the tank is indicated generally by the reference character', the tank being provided with bearings 6 formed in the end walls thereof, for the reception of the shaft 'I on which the roll of the apparatus,

is mounted, the roll being indicated by the reference character 8.

As clearly shown by the drawings, the roll is y stained, is fed to the roll.

mixing the stain, and preventing the stain from remaining in one spot on the material.

Mounted on one end of the shaft 'I is a pulley I I over which a belt from a suitable powermech'- anism not shown, operates to rotate the shaft and roll mounted thereon.

Stationary arms indicated at I2 extend upwardly from the rear wall ofthe tank, and provide a support for the shaft I3 on which the tube I 4 operates, the tube I4 being provided with division disks I5L dividing the tube intoa plurality of spools, from which the wooll being dyed or Set screws indicated atv I6 extend through the bearings II at the ends of the shaft I3, for holding the shaft I3 in various positions of adjust-r vupstanding fingers I8 between which the Wool provided with enlargements 9 that are substantially wide, and extended throughout the length of the roll 8. These enlargements 9 are formed with longitudinal grooves I0 to pick up the stain contained in the tank, as the roll rotates.

As clearly shown by Figure 1 of the drawings,

the enlargements 9 are arranged at oblique the wool under treatment, is caused to move rapidly, from one end of the tank to the-other,

as the roll is being rotated. It will be'furtherV under treatment' moves, These fingers I8 prevent lateral movement of the wool as it passes from the tank to insure'against the wool becoming tangled or matted, during the staining treatment.

In view of the foregoing detail description, a further description as to the operation and use of the apparatus, is believed to be unnecessary.

What is claimed ist. f

1. VA device for staining wool, comprising a tank adapted to contain a staining liquid, a roll mounted for rotary movement within the tank, members having wide outer surfaces formed withshallow grooves mounted-on the periphery of the roll and extending appreciable distances therefrom, said grooved members being disposed spirally of the roll, the grooves being adapted to pick up liquid from the tank and deliver the liquid` above the tank as the roll rotates, and means for feed- Y ing yarnr over said members, whereby the yarn becomes saturated with the staining liquid contained in the grooves. n

2. A device for staining wool, comprising va.

n tank adapted to contain a staining liquid, a roll seen that due to this constructiomthe grooves guiding strips of yarn over said grooved members to pickup stain retained in said grooves.
